Re: Open DBF’s not visible in BackgroundWorker second thread.

Hi Roland, I would suggest that you move your calculation function to a second thread without being tied to the currently open workareas of the main thread. That is, in the second thread you will re-open all the files you need for the calculation in shared mode + read-only (just for productivity ...

Re: Open DBF’s not visible in BackgroundWorker second thread.

Guys, You can indeed (with some programming) access the open DBFs in other threads. But I would not recommend it, especially when indexes or filters are involved: the macro compiler is used to evaluate expressions and these expressions are evaluated in the context of the "current" area. If you ...

Re: Open DBF’s not visible in BackgroundWorker second thread.

Thanks Wolfgang, I had read somewhere that this is quite time-consuming. I'll give it a try. I already disable all but the 'Stop' button ... which I intended to use for just that.

Re: Open DBF’s not visible in BackgroundWorker second thread.

Thanks Wolfgang,

I thought that might be it; I had tested public global variables and they ARE visible in the second thread. Is there anything else that is not 'visible' or accessible in a second (or more) thread that you might know of?

Cheers
Roland

Re: SQL Forum?

Thanks Wolfgang, I have 40+ years in system development - although 20 were mostly paper pushing :D - and am quite familiar with the development process. It is why I'm suggesting I can't commit to properly contributing toward a formal beta test. If we're less format about it, then I will gladly ...

Re: SQL Forum?
